3005 Maple (5br/5ba, 3120 sq. ft.) is a very nice update of a house that we saw just a few years back looking poor and uninspired at the time. (It sold for $1.365M in Aug. 2011.)

Now, we can't say uninspired at all. There was a consistent theme and feeling to all of the (recent) remodeling that the owners did. Wide-plank, distressed, dark flooring runs throughout the house. Rough-hewn beams accent the high ceilings and fireplaces. We liked the stone selected for the fireplace as well.

The kitchen and baths were all updated as part of the thorough remodel. There's really nothing left feeling 90s but the guest suite's bath and, perhaps, the pre-ZORP layout that shortchanges the backyard by quite a bit.

The home has a reverse floorplan, with kitchen, dining nook and formal dining area all upstairs and up front, divided from the family room by a central fireplace. The living room opens to a spacious patio, refinished with pebbles, where you can also access the guest suite and a wine room.

The balance of 4br is to be found downstairs, with the master furthest back. It's got spacious his-and-hers closets, nice bath and a fireplace.

3005 Maple began at $2.940M and recently cut to $2.800M. It is open Sun. 2-4pm.

3413 Elm (4br/4ba, 3400 sq. ft.) is being called a custom "Tuscan" in the listing.

The 1981 build has a step-down formal living room and a kitchen centered along the first floor, opening to a small, paved courtyard in back. There's a small family room off the kitchen as well. The kitchen is clean and not terribly dated, save for the black appliances.

All 4 bedrooms are upstairs, one quite small, one a spacious suite with its own bath. The master is over the garage and is also large, although the tile work and counters in the master bath (not pictured in the listing) are quite dated.

While the home is clean, the next owner will want to do some updating in just about each room.
